Standard Bearer E. N. Reading:
Ladies and GenHemen-It is with
feeling of pleasure both personal and
official that | extend to you, gentle
man, cordial greeting a hearty well
come to this city.
The organization of which you are
the head, is calculated to elevate
mankind, relieve the distressed, care
for the sick and destitute, and feed,
clothe and educate the poor. What
grander object can there be in life /?
The Ancient Order of United Work
men, is one OF those great benevolent
institutions whose work of relieving
humanity meets with the approval OF
all. 1t recognizes all shades OF polit-
ical and religious belief; its member
ship extends throughout the Union,
and it is the oldest beneficiary and in
surance society in the United States.
In this glorious Government OF ours |
all men are equal in the great race of
life, and your organization tends in no |
small degree to make good citizens,
to assist its members in building |
homes and making happy families.
When man secures home, how |
ever humble, he is sure to make a |
good citizen, and take an interest ii |
the government OF his country. In no |
other country in the world can a man
raise himself up so easily as in the
United States of America A poor
newsboy may become President of the
United States and a Workman
Mayor of Los Angeles; therefore, gen.
tlemen, l say God speed any organi-
zation which tends to elevate the
human race.
In conclusion, Supreme Grand Mas
ter, permit me to again extend to you
and your distinguished party cordial
and hearty welcome to Los Angeles.
